182 Cambelt, Aux belt, Dephaser pulley change



  BG 182
New to this, 182 owner.

Ive been giving two quotes from rentec autocare in edinburgh and autofix in blackpool,

Rentec quote £732, Autofix £750
Work being done is: Cambelt kit , aux belt kit, dephaser pulley, water pump, coolant change, spark plugs, oil change.
Does this seem reasonable?
Im also going to get a quote from my local Renault garage for a laugh.

Speak to Mick at diamond motors in long eaton, derby (I guess your up north but looking at travelling to Blackpool, so a little further for a great place might be worth it) @MicKPM thats where I'd take my car (if I had one still)

I live up north but my parents are in Blackpool so would be willing to go near there for a Renault specialist.

I highly recommend mick at diamond also took mine there late last year for cambelt change top bloke knows his stuff had all sorts of little issues which i never knew about and lets you know everything if anything he finds and sorted it all no bother to him

Going off Micks prices at Diamond Motors that seems about right with the plugs as well.

I'm sure if they're Renault specialists then they know what they're doing but just make sure they do as if they don't, it'll end up running like crap #typicalcsreply

I priced it at £685 without plugs, emailed Diamond Motors for a price with plugs. But it will come in around the price from Rentec Autocare (£732) and i wont have the journey from near Glasgow to Nottingham. Also heard good things about Rentec Autocare in Edinburgh.

Another vote for Mick at Diamond motors . Or Birchdown in Malpas which is alot nearer to Blackpool, about 90 mins drive plus they have a courtesy car . Both know these cars inside out and won't give you any BS .
Renault will ass rape you . The first time I had my 182 done , they had it for 5 days because they'd never done a 182 or seen one before lol. This was back when nationally there was a price guarantee on Renaults website for £499 ( 2012) which was swiftly removed a week or so later . But seeing as I had a written quote they had to honour it . The service manager said it was their mistake and it should have been £1500 :eek:penmouth:

Quotes from as far north as pontefract to as far as the south coast, £665-730 seems to be the band including dephaser. Dealers obviously a lot more.

Local specialist, Home Counties, ex Renault approved, wanted £770 without the dephaser! Unnecessary in their view unless it was noisy already. Needless to say it it is having a holiday at the seaside as we speak. More work required so made sense to drive it the distance! 39.8mpg on the economy run down there,
